Abstract
Introduction: Irrigation is an essential aspect of effective cleaning and disinfecting the root canal system. Debris tends to extrude in due course of instrumentation and irrigation. The present study aimed to assess the debris extrusion using an automated root canal irrigation device. Materials and Methods: Sixty-six intact maxillary premolars with double-rooted morphology undergoing extraction were collected. They were allocated into three groups – Group I: control (distilled water irrigation), Group II: conventional needle irrigation, and Group III: automated root canal irrigation (n = 22). Each specimen was then inserted into the Eppendorf tube for debris collection. The canals were then instrumented to 40 size 0.04 taper using HyFlex CM rotary file system. Experimental irrigation varied based on the specific group allocated. Finally, after the irrigation, the collected debris was weighed using the analytical balance. Results: A statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) was elicited in the debris extrusion scores seen among different groups assessed. Conclusion: Debris extrusion was minimal with automated root canal irrigation device as compared to syringe needle irrigation.
期刊介绍:
Vision SEJ aims to be one of the foremost worldwide periodical on Endodontics, dedicated to the promotion of research, post-graduate training and further education in Endodontics. Mission Statement To serve as a medium for continued Endodontic education and qualitative scientific publications on clinical trials, basic science related to the biological aspects of Endodontics, basic science related to Endodontic techniques as well as dental trauma that will ultimately improve the Endodontic research and patient’s health. Scope In this journal, Endodontists, Endodontic postgraduate students and general dentists, can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation that help them keep pace with rapid changes in this field. Aims and Objectives To publish cut edge peer-review original articles, case reports, letters to the editor, editorials, review articles, commentaries, and innovations that will impact on Endodontics. To enhance exchange of ideas/information relating to Endodontics and interaction among stakeholders. To encourage networking and partnership between individuals, government and non-governmental organizations for the provision of quality health care. To advocate for training, workshops, seminars, scientific manuscript writing conferences that will advance publishing culture.
